In sweeping proposals released after four years of frustrated efforts, Mr Obama ordered new curbs on carbon emissions from power plants and called for America to ready its defences against an already-changing climate.

The president also surprised environmentalists by signalling he would reject a controversial oil pipeline if it was found to “significantly exacerbate” the problem of carbon pollution.

“I refuse to condemn your generation and future generations to a planet that is beyond fixing,” Mr Obama told students at Georgetown University. “As a president, as a father and as an American I’m here to say we need to act.”

Mr Obama first promised a new push on climate change during his inagural address on a freezing morning in January, warning that failing to cut emissions “would betray our children”.

Today, as Washington sweltered in the summer heat, Mr Obama finally laid out the details of his plan, which can be carried out by executive order and therefore do not need Congressional approval.

Thanks for letting your true feelings out how you love to see America wasted in 8 years.

In Sunni Islam, flatulence invalidates wudu (ritual purity) and the anus must be cleansed with water before prayer in order for it to be valid.

THANK GOD THANK JESUS...HE HAS FINALLY ACTED! ALL OF YOU ARGUING OVER YOUR STUPID FUCKING RELIGIONS CAN GO TO HELL WHERE YOU BELONG. THE EARTH AND THE PLANET ARE THE PRIMARY ISSUES... ALL ELSE IS JUST FOOLISHNESS.

This will suck any industry out of our country that is left and leave it a third world nation...

We where around the 50s the absolute envy of the world..innovators scientist, new medical discoveries....we got stagnant.....we need to be what we were.....we need to have what we have without the danger...there are a lot of new minds brewing, they don't have a chance with the old Dino's in control..time to change.

Yeah. The amount of ignorance is obvious in the protests to Obama's plan to assist regional climate problems. Putting in the fear that somebody is going to abort your precious baby is just mind-boggling.

Obama speaks about cutting "carbon pollution" [link to www.youtube.com] Nevermind, carbon is not a pollutant, but who cares. He uses ridiculous terms like "dirty energy", "clean energy", while does not say a thing on dirty wars for dirty money.He says 40% of America's pollution comes from power plants that can "dump unlimited ammounts of carbon pollution into the air". I'm impressed by the easiness with which this puppet reads such nonsensical moronic language from his script! Enjoy the lamest circus America can offer to the world!

I think we should fight against all "sin" taxes, or well taxes in general, ha!

As such I don't agree with "carbon taxes". However, that doesn't take away from evidence that we might be encountering a serious problem.

Yes, it is a might, but a might with a ton of support via environmental issues. The whole "weather is cyclical" perspective is just not enough to explain it or is the warming of the sun. Many scientist consider both of these, but we can't deny human involvement. That is simply willed ignorance.

Sorry, bub, the sun is getting bigger. They aren't telling you that, because it doesn't make them any funny money. Boo-fucking-hoo. Live with it and take appropriate measures.:awwwwwwwwww:

I kinda mentioned that in the "warming of the sun" part of my reply.

Quoting: luridanimus

And you kinda implied that's somehow caused by "human involvement" which is retarded.

no control I agree this is why we burn carbon like shit, because we aint smart enough to come up with something better! If the US want to keeep world leadership they should lead with new inventions and solutions. the amount of CO2 can be messured and calculated same goes with the amount of heat beeing captured due to this. We do influence the climat because we are burning this million year old shit for decades.

FFS. explain why the global temperature anomaly has been trending flat for over 15 years now but CO2 has been going up?

Which means, numb nuts, that temperature can't be tied to a trace gas comprising .3% of the atmosphere can it?

Which means? The heat is hiding somewhere? Is resting? Wake the fuck up.

I've been watching, on line, the debate every night for about 8 years now. It's clearly a political/whatever made up,scare the masses Psyop.

The goddamn climate is always changing, it's what climates do; some times it's warm, sometimes it cold, sometimes it sunny sometimes it's not, some days it rains some days it doesn't.

How does this nimrod explain climate anomalies in the past?How is human activity changing the climate on all the other planets that also appear to be heating up?

I have yet to see any REAL evidence that human activity is changing the global climate in any way. Sure there is the local heat island effect in big cities, but get away from all that concrete and asphalt and it disappears.

I have yet to see nay evidence that anything these freedom hating pieces of crap come up with will have any real impact on the global climate.

Trust me, the next thing will be: the problem is too many people, we must reduce the Earth population to save the planet.

The earth is in no danger, it will be spinning away long after humans are gone.
